Yesterday
was an day we will never forget. The assault on Capitol Hill in
Washington, D.C. was horrible. In no way would I, or anyone, condone
the violence and murder we saw.
Also horrible are the lies the
news media is telling people about the whole situation. There was
massive fraud with a huge mountain of evidence. The violence was led by
infiltrators with ulterior motives. Some of the people have been
photographed at other violent riots over the past year. Social media
giants are censoring photos and videos of what happened. They have
decided "they" will tell us what we "need to know."
The fact
that the senators and representatives voted to approve of a fraudulent
election was also horrible. The evidence was never presented on the
floor, but given to them behind closed doors with no cameras recording
the sessions. How do we know they even saw or heard any evidence and
from what sources? It's very concerning.
Our wonderful
president is being treated horribly, with more threats of impeachment
and of being declared incompetent to serve.
I've spent today in
quiet reflection, praying, ministering to myself and restoring my
soul...dealing with the anger and the fear that all of these events have
generated. He has ministered to me through His voice and His Word.
I'm so thankful for His love and comfort.
I know this: God has
not given me a spirit of fear, but of peace, and of love, and of a sound
mind. He is still in control, and come what may, I trust Him to lead,
protect, and provide.
Today, I have reflected on the many, many
times I've gone through hard things and come through with a knowledge of
Him that no one can take away from me. This is one of those times,
Gail-Friends. I am encouraged to continue my mission: to do my duty,
out of a deep love, to my Almighty God and Heavenly Father by obeying
His Torah and telling people about Yeshua the Messiah as the payment for
sins. I'm also committed to do my duty to my beloved country by doing
spiritual battle against the corruption that has almost destroyed us.
Where
do we go from here? I, for one, will not give up. I love my country
and will continue to work to make America great again. I will speak
truth and encourage others to do the same. I was greatly inspired this
evening when I read this article from James O'Keefe of Project Veritas.
I was privileged to hear him speak in person years ago, and have
followed his work since that day. He is brave. He is a role model for
us all in this battle. I hope his words will encourage you, too.
Chazak, chazak, ve-nit chazek
(Be strong, be strong, and let us be strengthened!)

James O'Keefe Today- January 7, 2021
"Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.” - Yeats, the 2nd coming.
Most
of the messages I’ve been getting over the last 24 hours are the most
hopeless and cynical things I’ve ever seen in my life.
“Nothing
matters” “Nothing will come of exposing them” “Nobody is ever arrested
or held accountable” “Your work is of no use” “We have already exposed
them, and nothing happens” “You’re naive, there is no more hope” “The
truth will set you free is pure bullshit because the other side has no
morals”
My perspective is, the only thing we have to fear is hopelessness itself:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vRdNkqcsz1Q&t=58s To the people who say nobody is held accountable...
People are worried about political prosecutions now. Targeted audits. Liberties violated.
“They’re going to ban you and jail you” is what I am hearing.
People are willing to throw in the towel and say, “I’m done. Now it’s time for me to look after #1.”
Justice is a pipe dream, utterly impossible to manifest and unattainable. Because of this, the truth itself no longer exists.
I understand “the conservative movement” (which I do not condone) has failed you.
Buy my books, read our white paper, buy the products our advertisers sell, sponsor these conferences, or give us more money.
These
are not the most effective means of persuasion and influence anymore.
In reality, these are probably the least effective means.
To a
certain extent, elections have failed almost everybody, depending on who
is in power at the moment. Or at least they have become less meaningful
as there is a permanent administrative state, a government in
sclerosis, and an amoral political elite.
Power becomes an end itself, the pendulum swinging back and forth as deficits rise and our rights diminish.
A
small minority of our own supporters are even calling Project Veritas
futile, upset that enemies of political freedom are not in jail, upset
elections didn’t turn out their way.
And in the depths of this
spiritual, moral, legal, and political crisis in our country, I see
things differently. So differently, maybe I’ve gone completely mad, or
at least behaving like a ridiculous man.
Dostoevsky wrote in the
“Dream of a Ridiculous Man” about the hopeless man who had a great
spiritual awakening after experiencing a transformative dream. When the
man awoke again in this benighted world, he understood universal
timeless truths that awakened his spirit. He understood how important it
was to love others as much as he loved himself.
“Nothing else is
required. That would settle everything. Yes, of course it's nothing but
an old truth that has been repeated and reread millions of times - and
it still hasn't taken root.”
Dostoevsky also wrote in “The Brothers Karamazov”:
“Not
respecting anyone, he ceases to love, and having no love, he gives
himself up to the passions and coarse pleasures, in order to occupy and
amuse himself, and in his vices reaches complete bestiality, and it all
comes from lying continually to others and to himself.”
For me,
the fight for the truth is so much bigger than this moment in time.
Holding people’s feet to the fire and shaming them by creating righteous
indignation matters. Fighting for what is right and standing on
principal matters. Exposing them is the only thing they fear:

We
must make a conscious choice to “live not by lies” otherwise we become a
nation of feckless cowards giving into corruption. Feelings of nihilism
and futility, “Looking out for #1,” ratting on our brothers and
sisters, is not where we want to go in our society.
We can choose
to say “nothing matters” if our vision of life is reduced to material
pleasures and political outcomes. But we must choose integrity
regardless of outcome, because otherwise, what’s the point of existence?
Is life without integrity and purpose even worth living?
As for
the concerns from all of you regarding our political prosecution or the
effect losing power will have on our own liberties and well-being, let
me say this:
I’m ready to stand trial, to be falsely accused, and
go to jail. I’m willing to have my reputation shattered and take flak.
So are my colleagues. I’ve been through this previously. I know the hell
and wrath such events can put upon my loved ones. I know the brutality
of trials by media. I know attacks sometimes hurt.
But I also
understand it will take more than this to actually stop this movement of
transparency and accountability. I understand the path to truth
includes suffering and sacrifice. Whitaker Chambers wrote, “life is
pain, that each of us hangs always upon the Cross of himself.” But I
don’t think it’s the worst of all possible outcomes. The worst outcome
is this dream of an army of exposers not coming to fruition. The worst
possible outcome is a society without faith. “Human societies, like
human beings, live by faith and die when faith dies.”
Said Dostoevsky, “in one day, in one hour - it could all be set up at once!”
Just imagine, if all of us stood up together, took out our cameras and exposed them all!
Imagine
people with “skin in the game.” FBI agents, school administrators,
Silicon Valley engineers, federal court whistleblowers and three-letter
agency people followed their conscience.
Imagine infiltrating the
bunker of a dark enemy regime and shining light in the darkness. That
would change things, create consensus, inform the populace -- it would
be the end itself instead of a means to a political end.
I know this will succeed and I know the only thing that can stop it from succeeding is, well, stopping.
When
I was going through my darkest days on federal probation a decade ago,
unable to travel and unable to work, and all hope was lost, I was told
by family members, “even if there is one person who will listen, tell
the truth.”
For it is “the courage to continue that counts.” I
will never give up or give in as long as there is oxygen in my lungs and
brave people willing to blow the whistle.
These brave souls are
the fuel that gives me hope. They are, we are, our political leadership
now, and our will to tell the truth despite the outcome is what makes
our political leadership impotent.
I could see yesterday, among
the 10,000 cynical emails, a few Brave souls were reborn. This is a
birth of energy from a lot of people who were sideline warriors and are
no longer on the sidelines.
While I was in DC yesterday, in a
meeting with a federal employee, we watched live as the Capitol building
was taken over. They turned to me and said, “that’s it, I’m going to
record everything.”
“As long as it’s not classified, people have a right to know. They must know about this corruption.”
I asked them if they were worried about what would happen to them.
“Let them come after me, I’m ready for that, as long as you don’t stop, I won’t stop,” they said.
This whistleblower believes in their heart in the concept of “Veritas to the vulgate,” or truth to the people.
They understand this is now bigger than all of us.
Our job is to expose the truth.
Why
does the truth matter? On a basic level, public sentiment “is
everything,” said Abraham Lincoln. “With it, nothing can fail; against
it, nothing can succeed. Whoever molds public sentiment goes deeper than
he who enacts statutes or pronounces judicial decisions.”
Remember
too, that there is great joy in fighting. May we die doing what we do
or lose our livelihoods for the noble fight. For that is all we could
ask for, “to die on our feet rather than live on our knees.”
“Then outspoke brave Horatius,
The Captain of the Gate:
To every man upon this earth
Death cometh soon or late.
And how can man die better
Than facing fearful odds,
For the ashes of his fathers,
And the temples of his Gods”
The
investigative reporter is the propagandist’s natural enemy. Tyrants
fear, above all else, a free press for a reason. The media is
everything, so stop complaining about the media. Be the media. And if
they ban us, we’ll distribute our content via a proxy of patriot
distributors.
BE BRAVE. DO SOMETHING.

When your culture, liberties and country have been taken from you, and feel that all is lost, then it's time to resist. Bravery does not always mean charging head on into the enemy and sacrificing your life. It's wiser to appear meek and let your enemy think of you as harmless, then strike a dozen times when they are off guard. Sometimes bravery may appear to be cowardice to those around you. Do not let that bother you. Victory may take years to achieve, but the wait is well worth the sacrifice. Look to the Maccabees!
Shalom,
